Meeting Requirements

To promote accountability and to provide learning opportunities for our teachers we REQUIRE attendance at least 7 meetings during the school year. We have three All School Meetings, that give you an idea of the full community of families, connect you with resources, and provide training opportunities. They are held on the second Thursday evening in September, January, and March. The other four are small group teacher trainings that are usually held at someone’s home in October, November, February and April. Our specialty Zoom meeting has a limited number and generally offered to people who have been in the school for more than one year; first time families are given access on a case by case basis. You are allowed to miss one meeting during the year, for any additional missed meetings you will receive a fine. Since failure to attend these group meetings can be cause for dismissal, please consider your ability to attend prior to registering for our school.

Record Keeping

At Christian Heritage we will keep record of your cumulative file, transcripts, and student’s diploma with the school. The teacher (parent/guardian) is required to submit the student’s attendance, course of study, progress report, and grades each quarter (4 times) or semester (2 times). Generally after the first year with CHS you will be on the semester reporting system.

For high school students you will be required to meet before each school year starts to ensure that your student is on track to complete the required amount of units needed to graduate.

Sample Recordkeeping Forms – K-8th Grade

Sample Recordkeeping Forms – 9th-12th Grades

Do you have a high school student?

  • If you plan to teach your high school student please know that we are in this with you! To ensure your success teachers and high school students are required to meet yearly with our Educational Consultant to keep you and your student on track.
  • High school has a higher standard of course requirements. There are free online curriculum options that can keep your expenses to a minimum. If you are not using the free online option, curriculum costs vary.
  • Because CHS is not an accredited school, there is the probability that your local public school will not accept our high school credits for transfer (private schools more commonly DO accept our credits). Therefore, home educating during any portion of high school may require a commitment to continue through graduation.
  • Your decision to educate your children at home should be considered carefully and prayerfully. With God’s leading, this can be a very rewarding experience for your family.

Registration – Begins May 1st

  1. To begin the registration process, download the Registration Application including the Code of Conduct and Liability Form.
  2. Send the completed application with the signed Code of Conduct and Liability Forms to applicationsforchs@gmail.com with the $30 non-refundable application fee through Zelle. Our Zelle account is Christian Heritage School, Inc. linked to our email address (christianheritagecorona@gmail.com).
  3. Once your application has been reviewed you will be contacted by our office to schedule an interview or answer any questions over the phone.
  4. After your application has been approved (which may include a personal interview), you will need to pay registration fees in full, the first month’s tuition installment (or tuition for the full year in advance if you prefer) and complete certain other paperwork before registration is finalized.
  5. Any required papers will be sent to you within a few days of application approval. Please be sure you have your student’s immunization record ready (please note that as a PSP we do not require any vaccines but we are required to have student’s records on file) as this will be required before completion of registration.
  6. Join Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) within one month of registration. You will be given the group discount code for Christian Heritage as we process your application.

If you have not received a call after August 31st please call the office to see if your application has been accepted. High school has specific timing restrictions—generally accepted at the start of each semester—so be informed prior to removing your student from another school.

TIP: When removing children from a public school we suggest you tell them you have chosen to enroll your student in private school rather than saying you will be homeschooling. Some public school personnel are quite supportive of home education but others are very antagonistic and may cause you hassle and grief.
